Let’s see …
I earned SLIGHTLY more from my writing last year. My commission for From The Stacks productions brought in a small sum (I’m awaiting notes on Draft 2), and ChecklistMommy paid her own way, so I ended the year way up from 2012.
And I went into 2013 with a TON of new projects:
- A new screenplay: A friend who just started a new production company approached me with an idea for a big comedy that he thought I’d be a good partner on. So we managed to outline it over the course of a few months (we are busy people) and now we’re gearing up to write the first draft.
- A new TV idea: That same friend showed me a pilot he’d been working on that I loved, and that I managed to add some real value to with my initial notes. So I’m hoping to partner on that, too.
- My Meeker Movie: I just keep going back to my Meeker movie. I want to write that so badly, and I was a few scenes in when other bits of life intervened last year. I’d really like to get back to it … maybe that’s what I can focus on when I’m in Colorado this year?
- ChecklistMommy re-launch: A big re-design and new effort to discuss wider parenting issues, and more regularly, should support a bigger online presence for the blog, which I hope will help move the brand off-line a bit, too. I’m starting to work with publishers to do book giveaways — I’ve worked with How To Expect When You’re Expecting, and The Secrets of Happy Families, thus far.
- MomciergeLA: Speaking of OFF-LINE, the blog spawned a business! And the business comes with it’s own blogging responsibilities, too …
This huge pile of projects looks like this on a weekly PUBLISH / WRITING basis:
All this to say:
Busy busy busy … I just keep writing and writing and writing these days! That said, it often feels like blogging has subsumed my larger creative goals as a screenwriter. You might notice I plugged SKLevy.com into the little calendar I built today … I’m hoping that blogging my writing progress a little more regularly will drive me to be a little more accountable to my screenwriting responsibilities as I go.
